Kanda's first two albums on one CD

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This collection is nice look at Kanda's earlier years in Paris. The CD contains his first two albums: Iyole & Djessy.
I would say that this should not be your first Kanda album to buy. (That should be Kwasa Kwasa or Amour Fou) but if you have those, and like them--which you ought to--than this album would be the next in a natural progression of Kanda Bongo Man. The recording quality is superb and the licks are mighty featuring Diblo Dibala on guitar.
Get it; 5 stars."
